Abstract
A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile actinobacterium, designated strain E2AT, was isolated from a coral sample and examined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain E2AT formed a distinct phyletic lineage in the genus Saccharopolyspora and was closely related to S. cavernae CCTCC AA 2012022T (96.4 %) and S. lacisalsi CCTCC AA 2010012T (95.3 %). The isolate grew at 15–35 °C, pH 5–12 and in the presence of 1–16 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell-wall diamino acid was meso-DAP. Major fatty acids identified were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C17 : 1 ω8c. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipids detected were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, one unidentified glycolipid, one unidentified phospholipid and one unidentified aminolipid. The genomic DNA G+C content was 68.6 mol%. Based on the data from the polyphasic taxonomic study reported here, strain E2AT represents a novel species within the genus Saccharopolyspora , for which the name Saccharopolyspora coralli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is E2AT=(JCM 31844T=MCCC 1A17150T).
